Note that Gecko-based browsers have changed the meta-keys needed to toggle accesskeys to no longer conflict with browser shortcuts. The new combination is even less discoverable for users, but once known, provides for (afaik) completely conflict-less use of accesskeys in web applications. I'll agree that accesskeys aren't universally useful, or the most well-thought out feature in HTML, but I think that the use they have (and that they're being put to quite frequently in a wide variety of web sites/forums/applications) is enough that they should be re-instated in the HTML 5 draft. (I'll argue that formally and complete with wiki-mentions in due time if no one beats me to it.)
